by Jim Gaffigan

Review

Jim Gaffigan is currently raising five children under the age of eight in a miniscule two-bedroom Manhattan apartment. This hilarious book chronicles the experience. From always being his kids' second choice: "Let's see, the crabby guy with the scratchy beard or that warm soft lady that tells us stories for eight hours?" to the Narcissist's Guide to Babies and Toddlers, Gaffigan kept me rolling on the floor laughing. It's my favorite kind of humor, too: easy on the sarcasm and swearing.

If you haven't seen your best friend since she had her baby and you're wondering if she disappeared: read this book. If you don't have kids, and you're not sure you want them: read this book. If you haven't slept since 1998 because you do have kids: read this book. It's not easy being a parent, but Jim Gaffigan makes it funny.
